Thank you all, kind friends, for your comments. I wanted to do a challenge that would make you really reach inside to examine yourself and your beliefs...I also think you could take it a different way. The more mild word 'unnecessary' might be interpreted as the straw that broke the camel's back. One too many ornaments on the tree. Or any number of things.You know, like maybea fart in church ;D

It's been ages since I've had the pleasure of writing a Meet and Greet for one of our new team members and so it's with great delight I introduce you to Linda of BeckLee Cottage Designs. Linda is the curator of her own etsy shop where she offers a beautiful assortment of handmade jewelry creations. This self taught jewelry artist explained to me one day, how she first came to dabble in jewelry arts when she was given some wire by a jewelry manufacturer, who loved her creations and her new part-time career was launched.

Linda also hosts her blog, BeckLee Cottage Designs, where she selflessly promotes other etsy artists focusing primarily on new etsy shops.I've had the pleasure of getting to know this wonderful woman more personally over the past few weeks. Her caring and giving nature combined with a sense of gratitude and innate artistic talent all work together to make up the fabulous person she is. I know there's loads more to get to know from the person behind the artist and so I invite you to do so, and join me in welcoming our newest member Linda ~ Welcome Linda!
